Don Courson pulled a big tennis
upset at the Southwest Confer
ence meet held last weekend in
Fayetteville when he topped sec
ond-seeded Avery Rush of Texas
in straight sets, 7-6, 6-4, to lead
the Aggies to one of their highest
SWC finishes ever.
Three out of the four singles
competitors for A&M advanced,
which was the second highest
number of any conference school.
Only SMU did better when it
placed all four singles players
and two doubles teams in higher
competition.
What this means is that A&M
had enough point totals to pull
out second place in the SWC
tourney after finishing fourth in
round-robin competition.
Rice, which took the round-
robin championship, fell by the
wayside with the loss Harold
Solomon to the professional ranks
less than two weeks ago.
The Owls placed only two
singles players in higher compe
tition as they lost two singles and
two doubles matches.
Both A&M doubles team made
it to the quarterfinals.
In the first round, Dickie Files,
A&M, defeated Ron Touchon,
Texas, 6-1, 6-4; Tommy Connell,
A&M, defeated Baylor’s George
Moncada, 6-3, 6-4; Dan Courson,
A&M, defeated John Krister,
TCU, 6-1, 6-1. In the lone loss,

No need for promises. Let's simply look at the
record.
Long before reform became the popular rhetoric
of this campaign, Mrs. Farenthold had taken her
stand as an advocate of the people. She responded
to their needs without succumbing to the pressures
of special interest lobbies.
During two terms in the Texas Legislature, Mrs.
Farenthold backed students and higher education with
these positions:
• Urged the placing of students on the Board of
Regents.
® Voted against restriction on free speech on
college campuses.
® Urged revision of Texas marijuana laws in line
with the "Presidents Commission on Drug Abuse."
• Opposed requirements of "minimum teaching
loads" for college professors.
® Favored publication of University investments.
• Opposed any increases in tuition at state colleges
and universities.
• Supported legislation to study beach pollution in
T exas.
• Supported legislation to stop pollution by gas and
oil procedures, now under the protection of the Rail
road Commission.
® Favored full financial disclosure by state officals.
Only Mrs. Farenthold's actions are consistent
with her words. She will serve Texas well.

A&M rugby team wins title
for second consecutive year
A&M’s maroon rugby team re
tained the Texas State Rugby
Championship for the second year
in a row by bombing the North
ern Division champs, Galveston,
20-0, on the A&M Drill Field
Saturday.
The Aggies faced a much larg
er team on a slippery field but
used their exceptional quickness
to dominate the game. It was the
unity of play that spelled defeat
for the visiting club.
The first score came when
A&M obtained a loose ball 10
minutes into the first half and
25 yards from Galveston’s goal.
Mark Anthony, Aggie second row
forward, popped in the goal.
John Gunn made the conversion
as A&M raced to a 6-0 lead.
Lg.ter in the period, the Aggie
forwards reached high to tap the
ball out of line into the hands of
Steve Harmon. He passed it to
captain Butch Preston, to George
McCarroll and then to Mark
Fischer.
From 40 yards out he weaved
his way through the Galveston
defense, breaking two tackles and
stiff-arming at least two other
defenders before diving into the
end zone. Gunn again made the
conversion and the score stood
12-0.
Galveston reached the Aggie
five yard line a short time later
but a tremendous defensive play
by McCarroll, Bill Scherle and
Gary Junot kept them from scor
ing.
After A&M retained possession,
Mark Anthony got. the ball and
pop-kicked to Giles Fort streak
ing in front. Fort picked up the
ball and raced down the field and
dove in for the score.
Again from 40 yards out, Fis
cher brushed off two defenders
to break through. He slipped but
a quick side step to his right put
Galveston on the wrong foot and
Fischer went through. A&M
missed the conversion and the
score stood with the Aggies in
front, 20-0.
This is the end of the regular
season for A&M and seven mem
bers of the team will graduate in
May. Gone from the team will be
Gary Junot, Alan Hines, Mark
Fischer, Butch Preston, Don
Barr, Bill Scherle and Bob El
more.
There is much depth on the
Aggie squad and there expects to
be strength with the men remain
ing to field a comparable club
in 72-73.
The record for this year’s team
is 39-3. Honors won by this team
include the 1971 Texas State Rug
by Championship, 1971 Austin In
vitational Tournament, 1971 Lone
Star Invitational Tournament and
the 1971 Texas Northern Division
Championship.
In 1972 the Aggies have won
the Mardi Gras Invitational
Tournament, the Falstaff Invi
tational Tournament, second place
at the Lone Star Tournament,
Texas Northern Division and the
Texas State Rugby Champion
ship.
For Galveston, Jimmy Jones
twice made fine breaks for the
visitors and if not for the fleet
footed covering by Bob Elmore
and Gary Junot, Galveston would
have certainly been on the board.
